Who will lead Team India's batting in the upcoming Asia Cup 2025? This question is flashing in the mind of every Indian fan. This tournament, to be held in T20 format, will start from September 9 in the United Arab Emirates. India, who are the winners of the 2024 T20 World Cup, are ready to show their strength once again. This time, veterans like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have retired from T20 Internationals. Now, all eyes are on new talents. Who will be the batsman who will make a mountain of runs consistently in the tournament? Let's get into this story.
Rising stars and their shine
The name of Shubman Gill comes to mind first. The Indian Test captain is known for his excellent form and consistency. In IPL 2025, the Gujarat Titans captain scored 650 runs, including six half-centuries. His batting shows a unique blend of classical style and aggression. Gill takes on the initiative in the power play, and his wrists are adept at sending the ball to every corner of the field. He can leave his mark on a big stage like the Asia Cup. The 26-year-old is expected to make his comeback in the T20 squad not just as an opener but also as a vice-captain of the team.
On the other hand, Yashasvi Jaiswal is also not far behind. The Southpaw's strike rate in IPL 2025 was above 160. Jaiswal dominates the bowlers right from the start. His fearless batting can do wonders on the flat wickets of the UAE, but we have to wait and see if he is picked for the Asia Cup 2025. If he is picked, Jaiswal will surely be one of the in-form batters for Team India
Strong contender for the middle order
Suryakumar Yadav's dominance in the middle order in this format remains intact. He is now the T20 captain of Team India as well. The Mumbaikar's 360-degree batting becomes a puzzle for the bowlers to solve when on song. He can come in to bat at number three or number four for Team India in the Asia Cup 2025. Suryakumar's ability to score runs quickly can take India to a big score. These are three batters who are the contenders for the leading run-scorer for Team India in the Asia Cup 2025.
